28

Well there were all sorts of fun happenings this weekend. But you'll have to hear about them tomorrow. (Try not to die of excitement.) Today we have something more important to discuss. Which is that it is Danielle's birthday! If you have never had the privilege of meeting Danielle in real life than I am sorry. You are missing out. I myself have known her since she was in Mr. Glinkman's third grade class--across the hall from me in Mrs. Goodrich's class. We were on the student senate together in 6th grade. Pretty sure we were the ones who came up with Kriss Kross day. We were hip like that. Danielle is one of those super cool cats who is way ahead of the rest of us. She wore capri pants like 2 years before anyone thought they were cool. She started making belts out of old neckties long before GAP did. And her baby's room makes the Pottery Barn Kids catalog look like trizzash. But the coolest part about her is that she is totally confident in who she is so that one day she is totally glam and the next day she is wearing a hippy tye-die skirt with a sloppy bun in her hair and she is over it. Man I like her.

So, Happy Birthday, Danielle! I miss you in a big way. Last year on your birthday your hub was out of town so we went shopping and Taylor made you soup and a cake, 'member?? I wish I could be there today to give you a tight squeeze and wander around IKEA with you or something fun like that. And we could chit chat about the benefits of breastfeeding, the evils of high-fructose corn syrup, how beautiful Amy Butler fabric is, and how much we love our little babes. Unfortunately, you'll have to settle for a cyber-hug. (I'm cyber-hugging you right now.)

Happy Birthday!

Loves,

Anne
